The hummingbird is the quintessential symbol of the Nectarian form of art. In Brazil the hummingbird is called the ‘beija-flor’ - kisser-of-flowers. This beautiful poetic term describes the deep sensuality of the intimate engagement with Nature.

Maura & Laurence invite you to spend 3 weeks with them in a 14th century village, deepening your vision & learning Old Masters’ techniques of painting.
Mark Henson has proclaimed a lifetime mission to create art that is filled with positive imagery surrounding lovemaking. His imagery combines tantric, taoist, deep ecological and spiritual themes in a gorgeous expression of the harmonious potentials of life in Gaia’s gardens.
The transformation toward transpersonal awareness beyond historical constructs is what defines the times and the themes of contemporary visionary art : the emergence of a humanity that experiences its existence through cosmic and gaian relatedness, which exists in the ever renewing cyclical time of cosmic play, beyond the socially constructed dialectic of linear technological progress.
The entheogenic outsider art of Scott Cranmer represents extrication from violence and decay toward rebirth into the expansive state depicted as a realm of rich patterned expression of cosmic information and higher powers, where the astral anatomy is depicted as a scintillating vibratory weave of colour, pattern and light.
Interview with Maura Holden by Daniel Mirante
Combining both excellent draftsmanship with a lucid sense of colour, Maura depicts the secret vistas of the collective psyche, the sunken, honeycombed ruins of mysterious ancient civilisations, the paradisiacal and primordial bliss of our ancestors living within a shamanic dreamtime
Featuring a host of visionary master painters along with a crew of dedicated younger artists this art culture community building project celebrates the spirit of the inspired creative imagination.
Art is like giving new life to things which already exist, only filtered by the artists mind. But I am learning right now, that this process of filtering out, is the essential lesson an artist has to learn. To pick things out of unlimited possibilities, arrange them in a new way, to give new meaning to them, and their own autonomy.
Oleg Korolev has emerged as one of the most interesting and accomplished visionary artists of the present time. “Beautiful rhythms come when fear is gone and affection leaves.Perception is clear when the mind is calm, and becomes pure and virgin, when dualities are overcome. Consciousness returns to its Source… Son returns to his Father.”
